I made a decision...

[Jaynnus]

I took the R6 out on Saturday, and after riding it last year and for some reason deciding I did not like that bike, I had an abrupt change of heart. That bike rocks.

It was for sale, it is no longer. Since I have 7 trackdays paid for this season, it just makes sense to have a track bike so I don't have to track prep the RR every time.

Now....where do I get cheap race plastics or should I not bother and just tape and ride??

Tape it and ride, unless you want to spend 400 on glass and 400 on paint. R6s are crashed so commonly that you can replace the stock plastic cheaper than getting glass and painting it.

just ride the begeezus outta that thing!!!!


save your bucks for the poser bike.

tape and let me ride it

[Awesome]

A lot of times you can get rashed race plastics on the NESBA and WERA message boards for a couple hundo. You can get a brandy new set of race plastics for 450, and you don't need to have them painted. Run it in primer or rattlecan it.

[LuvDog]

Since you've got multiple bikes... it's probably not as big of a deal to get race plastics.

Tape it up and ride it.

Told ya soo!!!!! Dont bother wasting $$ on race plastics. Unless you wan tto save what you have for the future sale of the R6, then you will not have to search out good plastics or pay for new ones!

Tape it and ride away!

[R7]

Maybe you should tape up the 7fiddy and slap that bad boy on the track

Thats not gonna happen!!

Oh wait....I will do that when you tape up the R7!!

[PinHead]

Sounds like a dare to me

[Paul_E_D]

I was on the track when the R7 was out there and "bumped" off the track. I was really bummed about seeing that bike in the gravel.

Oh, sorry mark, where you on it when it crashed?

No, i was on the ground before the bike hit the ground
I'm not even going to ride the R7 anymore, nevermind take it back on the track

If the OEM plastics are in mint condition, I'd go for some race plastics. It might work out if you ever decide to sell it.

I have an idea-- DON'T CRASH.

[Double"D"]

Tape it and ride!

I went through the same dilemma with my "new" 600rr.

I decided to risk it with the stock stuff. Thinking that if I crash, it will be cheaper to replace the stock stuff (assuming only parts are damaged)

I did put frame sliders and solid mount footpegs though.

And I also took off all street stuff (headlights, etc)

why solid mount footpegs? Cause they came with the rear sets? or some other reason?

[TTD]

Yes, they came with the rearsets, but I like solid.

They don't fold accidentally and they protect in a crash.
